I'm so glad the knee was OK! Great news. I'm glad you had a good "dress rehearsal".

Sheldon- i am so glad i got to see you before Boston to wish you luck in person. I am so excited for you for the 'big show'.
Good work on ATB, looks like you are good to go for Beantown!
ETA: And THANKS for sticking around to watch me finish- that made me SMILE! (even if you didn't just stick around to see me- i am telling myself that you did since you left right after i came in!).

Sheldon! Very nice race/ training run buddy! Very glad you got a chance to run a bit with Dennis! Glad you were both out! I saw La there - always nice to bump in to her!
Nice job and time - hey any long runs left in you in the forks before Boston? Since I don't feel horible from yesterday, I think I'll run Mississauga -

This broken wing will fly again
One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out
Come into the light of one fine day

One fine day
This blackbird's mute gonna sing again
One fine day
So all you sinners come out
And all you drunkards crawl out

Great run - nice even splits!
I tried to run ATB in 2006 as a training run.....it turned into a race...I just don't have any discipline.
Congrats - and have a kickin' time in Boston!

It's still there if you dig deep:
The master list of fabrics is here: http://www.runningfunky.com/fabrics/
So many to choose from! Good thing I'm not rich.
They make swim shorts too! http://www.runningfunky.com/Shark-b-details.aspx
Maybe in Pretty Kitty or Gold Speckled Gator?

Glad you met your goal. Doonst, I really enjoy reading about your training and how it is coming along. Though short, this race report didn't disappoint. Can't wait for you to rock it in Boston!!!!
Nice chatting with you after the race.

We're going to try this new thing called jogging. Or maybe it's yogging-with a silent "j". Apparently you just run for an extended period of time. It's supposed to be wild.
